A Win10 system locks the screen after a certain time of inactivity.
I know:
- you could change the Win10 settings or
- install special software which claims to avoid stand-by or lock screen
However, I cannot/don't want to change settings nor install other software. Well, I could attach a mechanical device to the mouse and move it every once in a while. Hmm, seems to be too complicated.
I thought I could move the mouse by a little 7-liner Python program.
Code:
import mouse, time
for i in range(10000):
print(i)
mouse.move("20","20")
time.sleep(60)
mouse.move("150","150")
time.sleep(60)
This moves the mouse every minute between two positions. However, if I run this Python code in a Windows console, the screen nevertheless gets locked after a while.
Maybe somebody can explain:
a) whether avoiding lock screen is possible at all by such a method or if Windows is preventing this?
b) if it could be done via a few Python lines, what would be the conditions and the code to get this to work?
